A/N: Hey everyone its me blaze2rules and this is my second fanfiction, some of you might of read my first fanfiction 'No Longer Alone', which isn't finished yet, I plan on finishing it but I got a HUGE writers block, but once I come up with something I'll start to upload again, but in-the-meantime I decided to write another fanfiction which is also a Naruto Harem based story, so I hope you enjoy the first chapter of this story ^_^

Oh yeah, I don't own anything related to Naruto, I wish I did though

It was a sunny day in Konoha and everything was very peaceful. It was around sunset when we find a little five year old boy with golden locks

walking cautiously down a back alley where he wouldn't be spotted; you see this young boy has undergone mistreatment and beatings, very

brutal beatings that no one should experience in their lifetime. It was now nighttime and the boy was now walking behind a very big mansion,

which he's seen before, but never actually saw who lived there. He heard footsteps coming from his left, so he quickly turned around and saw a

guy covered in all black running towards him with a sack on his shoulder. He noticed that the sack was moving a little and automatically

thought that it might be a person, so he did what he does best…pranks. He tied some string to a pole and held the other end limp in his hand.

He waited 'til he saw the man run in front of him then pulled the string tight, which made the string stiffen right in front of the man's ankle,

there by tripping the man and forcing him to the ground. The sack he was carrying went flying in the air, but the boy ran over and caught it

before it hit the ground. He smiled when he saw that a head had popped out of the sack, it was a little girl that looked to be around his age

and had short indigo colored hair with eyes the color of pearls. He still didn't know who the girl was, but that didn't mean that he wouldn't

protect her. The man had gotten up and started running towards them ready to kill the boy who just humiliated him. The boy cut a string with

the only kunai he had and a boulder came flying at the man. 'Pathetic', the man thought. "You can't beat me with a rock", the man told the

young boy. "Sure I can since you're SO weak", the boy said back. To say the man was angry would be an understatement, the ground under

his feet was cracking from his chakra output. He broke the boulder, but then the boy threw a water balloon at him. The man laughed as he

sliced through the water balloon with a kunai, but he stopped when he noticed that black paint came out of the water balloon. It splattered on

his face and pretty much blinded him. The boy cut another string that flung another boulder at the man except this time it came from behind him

and connected with the back of the man's head evidently knocking him out. "I told you that I could beat you with a boulder", the young boy

told the now unconscious man. The young girl was in awe at what she saw, this boy about her age just defeated her kidnapper in no time flat

and she knew that the guy had to be at least jounin level because its not that easy to kidnap the heir of the Hyugas especially from their

mansion. The boy was the first to break the silence, "Are you hurt?" he asked with concern in his voice. "I'm f-fine and…thank you for…rescuing

me", she said with gratitude and a blush on her face. 'She's cute when she blushes', the boy thinks to himself, "What's your name Hime-chan?",

the boy asked. The girl, now blushing a lot from her new nickname, quietly said her name, "Hinata", then asked "what's yours?" But before he

could answer a man came out of the shadows, he was dressed in an all-white robe, had black-long hair, and the same kind of eyes that Hinata

has. "That was quite impressive", the man said while walking over to the two kids. "F-Father", Hinata said standing up straight now that she

was out of the sack. 'The boy just took down a jounin level ninja with nothing but pranks, who is this kid?' Hinata's dad thought to himself.

"Excuse me sir, but what's your name?" the little blond boy asked. "My name is Hiashi, Hiashi Hyuga", the man answered the boy then

continued, "I must say you're a very interesting boy, may I ask your name?" Hiashi asked. The boy grinned, "My name is Naruto Uzumaki", the

boy stated. "Well Naruto-san I gratefully thank you for saving my daughter and might I say it will be interesting to see how good you would be

as a ninja", Hiashi said then saw that Hinata had not once took her eyes off of Naruto and a very cunning idea came to him. He hated the

Hyuga consul with a passion, but this boy may be the answer he was looking for to overthrow them, but he would have to wait until the boy

was older to put his plan into full effect. "Well Naruto-san we must go, but please feel free to come and play with Hinata whenever you want",

Hiashi told a happy Naruto. Naruto was extremely happy almost on the verge of tears, he couldn't believe that he finally had a friend, "Thank

you Hiashi-san you don't know how much this means to me", Naruto said then turned to Hinata, "I hope we become good friends." Hinata

blushed, "Y-Yes…so do I", she stuttered and with that said Hinata and Hiashi started to walk back to their house. Naruto smiled then started

walking back to his apartment. A man sitting in a room while smoking his pipe had seen the whole thing. He stared into his crystal ball and saw

a now happy Naruto, "I'm very happy for you Naruto", the elderly Hokage said to himself.

The Next Day

Naruto left his apartment and went to his second favorite place, the forest. He loved to play there and no one else went to the forest so he

called it his 'safe zone'. He usually went there to play with the animals, he didn't know why but he felt a strong connection to all the animals.

They were his only friends in the entire world until he met Hinata yesterday, but the weird thing was that he could understand the animals and

they could understand him. "I can't wait to tell them that I made a friend", he told himself. When Naruto got to the forest he heard someone

crying, at first he thought it was one of his animal, but realized that it was a human. He really didn't want to beat up right now, since the

villagers sometimes tricked him he thought that this was a trap, but his gut told him to check to see who it was. He started walking away, but

then turned and walked into the forest. He found a girl, that looked his age, with pink hair sitting against a tree holding her knees against her

eyes and crying into them. He still thought that it could be a trap, but he decided to see what was up. He walked up to her, "Hey what's

wrong?" The pink haired girl looked up with watery green eyes, "Everyone makes fun of me because I have a big forehead", she cried out.

Naruto knew how she felt all-to-well, so he said the first thing that came to mind that he thought would cheer her up. "Don't believe anything

those assholes say. They are just jealous because your forehead makes you look very pretty", Naruto said with anger, he hated people who

made fun of other people just because they are different. The girl had stopped crying and now had a surprised look on her face, 'Nobody has

ever told me something like that', she thought. Naruto was trying to think of something else to say when she talked, "Do you really mean

that?" "Of course I do, I would never lie about something like that", Naruto said trying to eliminate her doubt. The girl stood up and dusted

herself off then looked at Naruto, "Thank you I needed to hear that. I feel a lot better now." "I was only saying the truth and your welcome. By

the way my name is Naruto Uzumaki, what's yours?" he asked. "My name is Sakura Haruno. Um…can we be friends?" she asked with hope in

her voice. "Sure I would like that", Naruto said then stuck out his hand for a handshake, but instead of a handshake Sakura hugged him as

tight as she could, "Thank you Naruto-kun", she whispered while hugging him. She broke the hug then started walking away, but turned

around with a smile on her face. She waved to him, which he waved back, then she continued to walk home. Naruto couldn't believe it in less

then one day he had made two friends which was impossible for him to do in the past five years. Naruto was extremely happy, but he knew it

wouldn't last since he knew that his birthday was tomorrow. Now usually birthdays were fun, great to celebrate, and have friends and family

gather around you, but not Naruto he hated his birthday, that day just meant that he would be overly beaten by the villagers and his

apartment would get burned down. Naruto was now sad so he decided to go home.

Deep In The Forest

Naruto decided to take the long way home which lead him through the forest then around many streets in town. Naruto knew it was okay to

walk through town since everyone was saving their strength to beat him tomorrow that nothing would happen today. He heard a scream and

turned around to see a young girl running towards him, she had blond hair with a hair clip holding the right side of her hair out of her face and

she had blue eyes. "Help me!" she screamed then ran and hid behind him. Naruto could feel that the girl was shaking from fear behind him, so

he looked to see what had put her in this state and he saw a snake, a really fast one, chasing her. Now snakes were the only animal that

Naruto didn't befriend in the forest, he instinctively knew they were bad, evil, and conniving, so he knew not to trust them. He grabbed his

kunai from his pocket and threw it at the snake. It whizzed through the air and then struck the snake through the head pinning it to the

ground. "You don't have to hide anymore I killed the snake", Naruto said very calmly. The girl peeked over his shoulder and saw that indeed

the snake was dead, killed by a kunai. She let go of him and he went over to the snake and took the kunai out of its dead carcass then

grabbed a fallen tree leaf and wiped the blood of his kunai then pocketed it. He walked back over to the girl, "Thank you, I thought for sure it

was going to get me", the girl said in relief. "Your welcome, but what were you doing in the forest in the first place?" Naruto asked seeing as

the forest never had other people in it. "I could ask you the same thing, but to answer your question I was trying to comfort a crying girl that I

wanted to be friends with and I saw her run into the forest, but unfortunately I got lost then got attacked by that damn snake", she said

obviously concerned about the other girl. "Oh, well Sakura is fine now so don't have to worry about her", Naruto told her. "Wait, you saw

Sakura?" she asked. "Actually I helped cheer her up and then we became friends", Naruto said in a matter-of-fact tone. "Man that was my

idea", the girl complained. "Well I'm sorry I didn't know someone was looking for her. You should become her friend because she could really

use some right now", Naruto said. "Yes I think I will and by the way what is your name?" the girl asked. "I'm Naruto Uzumaki and what's

yours?" he asked back. "Ino Yamanaka and just to let you know we're friends now", Ino said while walking away and waving good bye. Naruto

waved back then realized that he had another friend.

A Bit Later Somewhere In Town

Naruto was walking through town when he spotted a new store, normally the stores would kick him out or overcharge him, but he decided to

test his luck with this new weapons shop. He walked in and was amazed at all the weapons the shop had. "Can I help you?" a man behind the

counter asked. "No I'm just looking around", Naruto told the man. "Well okay, but if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask me", the man

said politely. "I will", Naruto said with amazement, no one had treated him nicely in a store. Naruto looked around and saw some swords, fans,

staffs, sickles, nun chucks, shurikens, kunais, and numerous others. Naruto was staring at some kunais when a girl popped up next to him,

"Hmm…kunais, you're not a ninja are you?" Naruto turned and looked at the girl, she looked to be slightly older than him, had brown hair that

was tied up in two buns, and had a chocolate colored pairs of eyes. "I want to be, but I'm not right now", Naruto answered her question. "Do

you have any ninja tools on you right now?" the young girl asked. Naruto pulled out his kunai from his pocket, "This is the only one I have",

Naruto told the girl. She analyzed the weapon which had grooves and chips on the 'sharp' edges and there was a chunk missing from the ring

of the handle, she was curious on how this boy could use such a battered weapon. "Come with me", she told Naruto then grabbed his hand

and pulled him until they were in a small training field behind the shop. The girl pointed at a training log that had a target on it, "Try to get a

bulls-eye with that weapon", she said, but knew he wouldn't be able to. Naruto did what he was told, he aimed his kunai, which caught the

girl's eye, then he released it. The weapon flew through the air then struck the wood right in the center of the target. The girl was awed, "How

did you do that?" she asked shocked that he was able to do it. "Well I practiced a lot with that kunai and I studied it closely and realized that it

gets pushed back a little because of the grooves and chips in it that make it non-aerodynamic and since there's pieces of it missing that makes

it lighter so the wind can change its direction and since the wind was coming from the west I aimed my kunai up and to the left a bit", Naruto

finished his explanation. 'Wow this boy is smart', was the girl's only thought, she saw him take the kunai out of the wood and pocketed it. She

ran up to him and grabbed his hand and led him back into the shop. The girl went to talk to the man behind the counter, then after a moment

she called him over. Naruto walked over to the counter and the man handed him a pack of shurikens and a pack of kunais. "I can't pay for

these, I have no money", Naruto told them with sadness in his voice. The man kind of felt sorry for the kid, but he didn't want the boy to buy

them, "You misunderstood, I'm giving these to you for free." Naruto looked dumbstruck, no one had ever given him something, "I'm sorry I can't

except this", Naruto told the man. "Yeah you can, except it as a gift for being my daughter's friend", the man said. Naruto looked at the girl

standing beside the man then looked at the man again, "She's your daughter?" "Yup and her name is Tenten and by the way I'm Shosa.

What's your name little boy?" Shosa asked. "My name is Naruto and I thank you for the gifts", Naruto said as he excepted the gifts. Shosa

ruffled the boy's hair, "Come back and visit us whenever you want to", Shosa said. "Okay", Naruto said with happiness. "Bye-bye Naruto-kun",

Tenten said as she waved to him. "Bye", Naruto waved back then left the shop.

Walking Through Town

Naruto was happy that he had made another friend, he was so happy that he didn't notice the kid in front of him, 'Whack', he walked right into

the kid. "Ouch, oh I'm sorry", Naruto said to the boy. The boy had red spiky hair and green eyes with black lines around his eyes. The boy

looked sad, so Naruto decided to find out what's wrong. "Hey why are you so sad?" Naruto asked the redhead. "Actually I'm here on vacation

with my family, but I got lost when we were walking through town", the redhead answered. "Oh, well where was the last place you saw

them?" Naruto thought that that might be a good place to check. "We where in front of some ramen shop called Ichi-something", the redhead

said while remembering. Naruto knew of only one ramen stand and it started with 'Ichi' in the name. "Follow me", Naruto said then grabbed the

redhead's hand then started walking to Ichiraku. The redhead was baffled, no one ever came this close to him besides his aunt. "What's your

name?" Naruto asked. "Gaara", the redhead answered. "Gaara? That's a cool name. Mine is Naruto, I hope we can be friends", Naruto said

with a happy grin. Gaara couldn't believe this day had come, he's wanted a friend for a long time and now he might have one. "I would like

that", Gaara told Naruto with a smile that didn't fit him. They made it to the ramen shop and Gaara spotted his family, "There they are", Gaara

said while pointing to a couple of kids. One was a boy that looked slightly older than Gaara and had brown hair and small black pupil eyes, he

reminded Naruto of a cat for some reason. The other one was a girl that looked slightly older than the 'cat' boy, she had blond hair put into four

pony tails and had black eyes. Gaara ran up to the two kids, "Kankuro, Temari-neechan, this is my friend Naruto", Gaara told his siblings.

Kankuro 'hmpted' because he could care less, but Temari had a surprised look on her face. 'Did he just say friend?" Temari thought then

continued thinking, 'I wonder if he forced this kid to be his friend.' "Um…Naruto was it? Could you come over here for a little bit?" Temari asked

Naruto while motioning for him to follow her. Naruto followed her a little ways from the two boys, he didn't know what the girl wanted to talk to

him about but he knew that he was going to find out. "So what do you need to talk to me about Temari-san?" Naruto asked the fellow blond.

"Well its about your 'friendship' with Gaara", Temari said with a serious expression. "What about it?" Naruto asked. "Well did Gaara…force you

to be his friend?" Temari asked even though she thought she knew the answer that he was going to say. "No, I was the one who asked him if

we could be friends", Naruto said with a genuine smile. Temari was shocked, she never thought that anyone would want to be Gaara's friend,

well willing anyways. 'Maybe he will be the one to help Gaara', she thought. "Um…can I ask you something?" Naruto asked the other blond.

"Sure go ahead", Temari told him. "Well Gaara said that you guys were here on vacation and I was just wondering how long you guys were

going to be here?" Naruto really wanted to know. "Actually I think we are leaving tomorrow, why do you want to know?" Temari decided to ask.

"Well I wanted to know if I could play with you guys before you left, but it looks like I won't be able to", Naruto said with sadness in his voice.

"I'm sorry", Temari felt sorry for the boy. "That's ok we'll all meet each other again someday, oh and by the way do you want to be friends?"

Naruto asked. Temari started blushing from the sudden question. Since her brother is Gaara no one wanted to be her friend since they were

afraid of Gaara. "You really want to be friends with me?" she clearly forgot that this boy befriended Gaara. "Yeah, I like you, you seem to be

very kind", Naruto said sincerely. Temari couldn't stop the redness in her cheeks, no one ever said they liked her even as a friend. "Ok lets be

friends", Temari said and held out her hand for a handshake. Naruto remembered what Sakura did in this situation, so he decided that that

was the proper way. He walked up to Temari and gave her a big hug. To say Temari was surprised would be a major understatement, you

wouldn't be surprised if her eyes popped out of her head. Temari didn't know what to do, she wasn't angry like she thought she would be if

something like this happened, she actually thought it felt rather nice, so her body reacted on its own, she hugged Naruto back. They stopped

hugging and walked back towards Gaara and Kankuro and notice that there was a man standing with them, he looked like an older version of

Gaara. "Father", Temari said. "Well it looks like you guys found Gaara", their father said. "Actually Naruto-kun found him", Temari said and

pointed at Naruto. The father looked at Naruto, 'hmmm…he has whisker like marks on his cheeks, this kid must have the 'Fox' in him, which

means that he is like Gaara, which means that he's nothing but trouble', he thought to himself. "Come kids we have to leave now, so say good-

bye to your little 'friend'." Kankuro just 'hmpted' like he always does, Gaara said bye and until next time, and Temari hugged Naruto and said

bye. Naruto waved to his new friends while they were walking away, he had to admit to himself that this had been a great day.
